If you missed it ...
In a week when Forbes magazine should have come out with a spanking-new issue, this also happened:
Stephen Heasley and Andrew Borg sued Vistaprint after it went the extra mile in screwing up their wedding programs. The Australian couple said that when their shipment arrived, instead of programs they received religious pamphlets with messages about temptation and sin, with phrases such as “fight against Satan’s temptation and pursue what is good.” The Dutch company, which has a regional headquarters in Massachusetts, told media outlets that it would never discriminate against its customers and is investigating the incident. Money talks, but cash is being muted. Now it’s Starbucks that’s experimenting with refusing cash, at least at a store in downtown Seattle. The company isn’t saying how long the experiment will last or whether it will be expanded to other locations. Quartz ran a story with this headline: “Over the past month, BlackBerry stock has been a much better bet than bitcoin.” Racing driver Danica Patrick and GoDaddy are getting back together. The Web-hosting company will sponsor Patrick in the upcoming “Danica Double” that will close out her racing career. As the company grew over the years, it marketed Patrick as a strong, sexy woman in 13 Super Bowl commercials — a record appearance for celebrities. Now it’s most interested in Patrick as a budding businesswoman who is firmly closing the door on her racing career and rebranding herself as an entrepreneur. Parting thought: Fans of Krispy Kreme can vote until Monday on which glaze they prefer to cover the doughnuts: blueberry, caramel, lemon or maple. Unlike political elections, you can’t write in vodka.
